Study Notes

Introduction to Plant Organs and Photosynthesis

  • Roots: These are usually underground. Their main jobs are to anchor the plant firmly in the soil and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
  • Stems: Stems provide structural support for the plant, holding up the leaves and flowers. They also act like pipelines, transporting water and nutrients from the roots up to the leaves, and sugars (food) made in the leaves down to other parts of the plant.
  • Leaves: Leaves are the plant's primary food factories. They are typically flat and green, designed to capture as much sunlight as possible.
